Desri walked down the sidewalk. Not really paying attention to where she was going. Just wanting to try to walk her feelings away. She sighed as she reached a place she knew well. It was the park. A place she came to reflect over the past. A place she came to loose herself in the swirling abyss of the lake as she swam in the darkness under the starlight. She was relieved that her feet had brought her to this place.

Desri walked into the park as the sun began to set. How long had she been walking? Hours probably. Drifting through the park like a ghost through a graveyard she stopped a wall. Climbing up the vines that served as a latter to her so many times, she jumped over to the other side.

She looked around. It was lovely. A place all her own. She walked over to it sitting down. Her mind raced as she thought of her past. A drunken father. An abused mother. Things that most girls take for granted were taken from her as she grew up in that small apartment on the darker side of town.

She lost herself in her thoughts. This is why she had joined that gang i nthe first place. It was a home away from home. People who cared for her. People who would do anything for her. People who murdered without a thought of regret. No, they weren't better than her parents. But they were gone. They had left her. Alone. Afriad.

Then Chevelle had showed up. Everything changed. She had a friend. Someone who would help her. Not a group of killers who would give her a horrible reputation and scare ehr out of her wits. So she left. She left them and their ways behind her. Even though she had been of high ranking at the time, which is the only reason she survived leaving, she had never killed anyone. She was a great fighter, and a loyal friend, but was all this going to change tonight? Was she going to go back and forget all she knew and loved about this world now? No. She'd do it for herself. To leave behind her past for good at the end of this mission, if you could call it that.

Desri raised up from the ground and stretched as she had been lost in the swirl of colors that surrounded her at her hide away. The hide away she had known for years. She sighed and thought of how even she hadn't told Chevelle of this place. She thought of how she wouldn't tell Chevelle of her short term gang relation she was about to commit.

Desri had been walking for a long time. Not because she had forgotten where the gang was located at, but because it wasso damn far away. She sighed as she looked upon the place she had once called home. grefitti stained walls and gun shots with sirens as the music of the town.

Sighing Desri turned off the cd player she had been listening to and slipped it into her backpack. Knocking on the door as she stood there, waiting for her task to be given to her. The door flew open to reveil Darrel standing there. "Hey there Desri, didn't think you'd really come." He said and stepped aside to let her in.

Desri sighed and shrugged as she walked up the creaky steps, followed by Darrel, and down the dimly lit hall. As she stopped at the door where she knew the boss was she took a deep breath feeling Darrel's hand on her sholder. "Don't worry, he bares no grudges towards you." He whispered in her ear and she could smeel the alcohol in his breath, seeing he was a big drinker.

Desri opened the door and walked into the room looking around. Seeing the man that she used to work for sitting on his bed, which was torn apart and looked rather ugly. He waved her over without even looking up at her, his long jet black hair hanging over his face since he was leaning forward.

Desri stepped forward and walked to him. She stopped a few feet away from him. She tensed and sighed as he looked up at her. His golden eyes peirced her own with a strength she couldn't name. Stumbling back slightly she caught herself by grabbing the dresser agianst the wall. The man stood up and walked over.

She was sure this had all been a trap. Chevelle had told her of how the gangs would usually kill or hurt the members that left but they had told her she was safe from that. Desri had to thank for this the fact that she had been dating the boss. The man that glared at her with a hateful glare. That she so rightfully deserved for decieving his trust and running out on him leaving the gang behind. "Desri." He said with a soft and dangerous tone, as was his way. "It's great to see you agian,l you know why your here right" He said turning around so she could only see his long hair tied at the nape of his neck in a pony tail.

Desri nodded even though she knew he couldn't see. "Good." Was all he said and walked over sitting on the bed agian and patted the spot next to him. "I want you to watch someone for me, I will need you to report back to me twice a week to tell me what kind of information you can. I know you've been told of this boy already. He goes to your school and he's not hard to miss. He wears a white mask over the right half of his face." He finished and sighed.

Desri was now sitting next to him as he placed his hand on her knee. "The agreements have been told to you, and thats all the information you will need right now. The agreements and what you need to do." He said as he noticed her tense up as the feel of his hand brushing agianst her leg, only a thin almost transparent fabric of the panyhose she was wearing to seperate his skin from hers.

Sighing at her tenseness he removed her hand. He oviously still had feelings towards her as far as she could tell. Desri stood up and looked down at him and nodded. "If thats all you have to tell me I'll be going." She said and walked out of the room quickly before he could think of an excuse to keep her there.

Desri was out the door and made it to Chevelle's house (where she lived) in half the time it took hger to get there.

This chapter was a little longer I guess and I thank all of the people who have been reveiwing. - RR Please-
